More Girls BB State Players of Year
While Aquira DeCosta from Stockton St. Mary’s completed a four-year career that is comparable to some previous Ms. Basketball honorees, she didn’t get quite that high after her senior year.

NEW Girls BB State Top 20
There were no newcomers this week and a limited amount of movement due to a lot of teams only playing one game last week or blowing out league opponents. The biggest move got the Inland Empire a little more prestige as Etiwanda becomes a top 15 team after a solid win over La Jolla Country...
